Put some new tires on my truck last week, same size as what was originally on them (255 70/R16) and what I am finding now is that my tires when fully turned in are rubbing on the corner of the tire in the wheel well. I didn't have that problem before. I put on General Grabber HTS to replace the Goodyear RT/S's.
 






I have noticed when turning left, but not right and it only rubs of the corner of the tire in the wheel well when the steering wheel is fully turned....

Not sure, are the Grabbers just a smidge bigger or is something out of whack?
 






they might just be a little bit bigger. i have stock size tires and they rub on the sway bar on both front wheels. i was told that's just how the truck is.
 






Yeah, but it's only happening when turning the truck full left. When I turn the truck full right, there is clearance
